The question of Nordic identity and how it has informed (or been produced by) regional cooperation initiatives in the past the present, has for a long time been a core research interest of mine. I have been particularly interested in the relationship between Estonia and Sweden, but also the Baltic and Nordic countries as a whole. The outputs of this research project include my PhD thesis (published by University of Tartu Press in 2014), a multitude of articles, conference and seminar presentations, popular articles and a televised public lecture.
